Evolution of Mixed-State Regions in Type-II Superconductors

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A mean-field model for dynamics of superconducting vortices is studied. The model, consisting of an elliptic equation coupled with a hyperbolic equation with discontinuous initial data, is formulated as a system of nonlocal integrodifferential equations. We show that there exists a unique classical solution in C 1+α 0 ) for all t > Ω, where Ω 0 is the initial vortex region that is assumed to be in C 1+α . Consequently, for any time t , the vortex region Ω t is of C 1+α , and the vorticity is in C α t ).
